"What are you shouting? Why do you have to call the police?" Another man playing chess on the side asked curiously.

"Forget it, it was a female resident, she looked to be in her thirties, and the maintenance man went over to repair her water pipe. While the repair was being done, a man was standing by to help the maintenance man. When the work was done, the maintenance man said a kind word and said The female resident said, 'Next time something breaks here, just ask your husband to go to the hardware store and buy a faucet, unscrew it and replace it yourself.' With that said, the maintenance man was also kind, but the female resident didn't expect it. I don’t want to." The gatekeeper Lao Wang said.

"There's nothing wrong with it, why are you still unwilling?"

"Because the man is the father of the female resident. The woman looks a little older, and the man looks a little younger. That's why. The maintenance man can't apologize, and he can't waive the fee. Her father asked the maintenance man to hurry up. She can't leave, and she won't tell her how to solve it. She just can't leave anyway. Isn't that unreasonable?" The janitor Lao Wang became more and more angry.

"Yesterday there was a big fuss. I finally tried to persuade them to calm things down, but now they are making trouble again. Xiao Li, let me tell you, she likes to make trouble as much as she likes, and she likes to complain here and there. It's okay, don't force me. , I am not someone to be trifled with, either."

The middle-aged man Xiao Li said helplessly: "Uncle Wang, where did you say this?"

"Did I say something wrong? Why did you ask me to come over if it's okay?" The gatekeeper was very dismissive.

"Lao Wang, don't be angry. Even if this matter reaches the police station, they won't care. In the end, it's Xiao Li's business. He has to find a way to solve it." The uncle on the side was trying to calm down the atmosphere.

Someone gave him a step, and Lao Wang's expression softened. He thought about it and said to the middle-aged man: "Let me tell you, Xiao Li, if you want to solve this matter, there is only one way, which is to introduce her to a partner. Yesterday I But according to what her father said, she is almost 40 years old and has not yet been married. If someone recognizes her as her father's age, wouldn't it be a big deal? "

Xiao Li nodded and said, "I know this too. This person is well-known in our street. My master told me about it when I first came here, but I didn't expect to encounter this."

Lao Wang kindly advised: "Let me tell you, Xiao Li, don't get involved in this matter. Just let her do whatever she wants to do. When the matter gets serious, it should go to the court. The rest will be done." You don’t have to worry about it.”

"Yes, I'm telling you Xiao Li, it's not easy for you to take care of this family's affairs. Even if you help her family solve it this time, it still won't work when they encounter problems next time. They won't talk to you about favors or anything like that. , I’ll tell you what’s good for her. There was a college student who was an intern before, but her family just lost her job, so don’t get involved.”

The uncles all gave advice to the middle-aged man Xiao Li. After Zhang Lan called up the surveillance system and asked Yu Lingling to recognize the person, he asked the security guard to come over and see. It was not a nearby sanitation worker as the uncle said before. , is an old man from another family. The uncle also knows this old lady, and he also knows a little about her family's situation.

The main reason for the old lady's situation is that she has too many grandchildren. Originally, there was only one boy. At that time, the investigation was tight. The son, daughter-in-law, including the old lady and her husband, all came from working-class families, so they did not dare to have another child. As a result, when the eldest grandson was twenty years old, the policy was suddenly relaxed, and the old lady's daughter-in-law wanted to have another one to accompany her son.

At that time, housing prices hadn't skyrocketed so much, and since the whole family was making money and had retirement pay, I thought it would be easy to get another one, so I decided to get another one.

It doesn't matter, after getting pregnant again, it turned out to be triplets. When the test was performed and it was discovered, I wanted to have an abortion, but the old lady's daughter-in-law was still in good health at that time, so she just wanted to try her best to prevent her health from getting worse. before making a decision.

Because they were triplets, and the old lady's daughter-in-law was already in her forties when she got pregnant, she was very famous in the neighborhood.

There were no problems during the pregnancy. The old lady and her daughter-in-law worked in an office. They exercised all the time and were in good physical condition. The baby was born smoothly.

But it was different after he was born. The eldest son was in college at that time, and the child had not graduated yet when he was born. No matter how good the old lady's daughter-in-law was at that time, she was already in her forties after all. No matter how good her health was after giving birth to three children at once, the result was that her roots were damaged.

Not long after the child was born, I took medical leave from my workplace and focused on raising my child.

Three children, even if they don't get sick, are still a big burden. It was easy for a family of four to support one child, but as soon as three children were born, the smiles on the faces of the family who had been smiling all day disappeared, and everyone began to work hard to earn money.

The old lady and her husband were originally enjoying a stable retirement life, but now that their three grandsons were born, they had no choice but to start doing odd jobs again.

The old lady usually set up a roadside stall, selling toys and snacks, while the old man put aside his dignity, rode a tricycle, wandered around the streets and alleys, and started to pick up scraps.

At the beginning, it was just to subsidize life and prepare for a rainy day. But later, as the children grew older, housing prices continued to rise, and the family grew older, some things became more and more difficult.

After the old lady's eldest grandson graduated from college, because his family insisted on having three younger brothers despite his objections, he went directly to the southern coast to work. Later, he wanted to take root there and got a local girlfriend. He was not prepared Back to Kyoto.

Although his family was opposed to his choice, after all, he was their own child. At that time, the family still had money, so they scraped together the money to buy a house for the child in the south and paid the down payment.

A few years later, the old lady, who was originally in good health, was diagnosed with cancer in the hospital. Suddenly, the family that was still able to make ends meet became completely difficult.

I have three young grandchildren, and I paid a down payment to buy a house for my eldest grandson. The family’s financial resources have been almost wiped out. I don’t dare to tamper with the house in Kyoto, because there are three children below, and the family is trying their best. Try your best to be able to afford a few houses despite the high housing prices.

When the old lady became ill, the family, which was already in some financial difficulties, spent hundreds of thousands more to provide the old lady with various treatments. Although the old lady said she wanted to give up the treatment, her son and daughter-in-law did not agree. .

Because it is discovered early, lung cancer is not a disease that will lead to death in the short term. Why not treat it if it can be treated?

Spending money is for sure, but as long as the children are still alive, leaving some money for the children is better than anything else.
